EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic moment when passengers, including journalists, schoolchildren, and travel agents, disembark from Laker Airways' DC-10 at Berlin-Tempelhof Airport in 1974. The DC-10, manufactured by McDonnell Douglas, had just completed a demonstration flight over East and West Berlin, offering a unique opportunity for a sightseeing tour of the divided city. The image showcases the excitement and curiosity of the passengers as they step off the plane, with the iconic DC-10 serving as a backdrop. The event marked a significant milestone in the history of air travel and East-West relations during the Cold War era. The photograph, taken by renowned photographer Peter Butt, is a poignant reminder of a time when the simple act of flying between East and West Berlin held immense symbolic and political significance.
